Ejector or Extractor?
« on: September 06, 2006, 01:58:13 PM »
Which is better in your opinion.  My new handi will toss a loaded .45-70 round 6 feet.  Is the fired brass kicked out with equal vigor?

Which is better? Define better! An ejector, when it works like it was intended, is great for hunting, not so great at the range when you either need to police your brass, or you want to keep it to reload, then it requires a technique to catch it on opening of the action. An ejector that fails to work when hunting can be real unfortunate if a follow up shot it needed. Factory extractors don't fail, they are mechanical and very positive, but not as fast for reloading. It's a matter of preference, most prefer ejectors, but it's going to become a moot point, the factory will eventually not offer ejectors at all.

10 feet for empty brass, or an eye put out!! :o

Since everyone has their own opinion....here's mine.  If the rifle shoots cases that I reload I would prefer, extractors but if the rifle uses a cartridge that I don't reload for, then ejectors.  All of my H&R's and NEF's have ejectors, I've just learned to put my left hand ove the chamber area when I open the breech.

Have yet to have the Extractor fail me with reloaded 30-06 brass. Cannot say the same for the Ejector in .223 and 30-30. The Extractor is slower and will take some getting use to grabbing a rimless case while wearing hunting gloves but would rather have a sure thing under hunting conditions. So, I like the Extractor.
